The Star Spangled Banner in Chinese

Youku Buzz points us to this video of Chris Pereira singing The Star Spangled Banner in Chinese. We must say this impassioned rendition of the US anthem brought a single tear to our eye. And this guy is not even American — he's Canadian.

Chinese lyrics after the jump:

哦,你可看见,透过一线曙光,
我们对着什么,发出欢呼的声浪?
谁的阔条明星,冒着一夜炮火,
依然锓风招展,在我军碉堡上?
火炮闪闪发光,炸弹轰轰作响,
它们都是见证,国旗安然无恙。
你看星条旗不是还高高飘扬,
在这自由国家,勇士的家乡?

So where's the Chinese version of Oh Canada?

When you finished singing the US anthem, you should follow with the Chinese anthem as a matter of courtesy.
